What Did Serbian Tennis Superstar Novax Djokovic Say About The Kosovo Protests?

💭 Novak Djokovic has stirred anger after calling for peace in northern Kosovo after winning his first match at the French Open.

What did Novak Djokovic say?

After winning his match, Djokovic signed the camera for a Serbian television network.

This isn't unusual — winning players regularly sign television cameras after winning their matches.

However, instead of just signing his name on the screen, Djokovic wrote "Kosovo is the heart of Serbia. Stop the violence," in Serbian.

Djokovic explained his decision to write the message to Serbian media in a press conference after the game.

"Kosovo is our hearth, stronghold, centre of the most important events for our country," he said in Serbian.

"The biggest battle happened there, the most important monasteries are there.

"There are many reasons why I wrote it on the camera."

Djokovic later reposted an image of his signed message on his Instagram account.
